There is going to be some roster shuffling for sure, chuck. Especially once Malkin and Letang are back. They could send Despres down, perhaps after the deadline, but he's proven himself.

Either Bortuzzo or Engelland are going to end up on waivers, and I'm guessing neither would clear as teams are always in need of blueline depth. So yes, there will be an odd man out.

I'd also guess Bennett gets sent down, if only because he's better off getting top line and top PP minutes in the AHL than 3rd line minutes here. UNLESS they find a taker for TK, but you don't want to make too many changes to a team playing this well. We know Coach loves Adams. My guess is one of Jeffrey/Vitale/Glass gets waived.

I'd love to see Murray paired with Letang, but he won't get those kind of minutes. They could do what they did in the 09 playoffs, and dress 7 D, and just roll Crosby/Malkin/Sutter through the 4 lines.

What is this team going to look like with Iggy and MAF and Letang?? Geez, I hate to think what kind of pressure must be on these guys to win the cup now. Hopefully that won't wilt them if they get down a game in the playoffs. Other than Boston and Chicago, can anyone give them a run for their money and beat them in a 7 game series? I honestly don't think so, although anything can, and usually does, happen in the playoffs.
